I never noticed how much “JRPG” actually gets used until after the Yoshi-P comment. Back in the day, it was not used. CRPG meant console rpg back then, vs PCRPG. Now crpg obviously means computer rpg. And now “JRPG” is basically meaningless—yet still a loaded term.
I played arena but didn’t really get it. Daggerfall was still the best tho! Loved oblivion, but Skyrim removed so much complexity and killed so many of the simulation elements.

Re: 'The Transylvania Adventure Of Simon Quest' Is Basically A New Castlevania
I’d probably buy this now if it was out on Xbox. I feel like I’ve been waiting ages, but I think it was only ever announced last year.
